A Place Beyond Hope

by Melilot Millstone

A poem I had originally written last year, but put under fanfiction for Frodo.

Author's Note: This is a poem I wrote last year, when I was really depressed, and I just found again. I thought it went really well with Frodo so I put it under fan fiction.

"A Place Beyond Hope"

Am I still breathing

Or am I merely a shell?

I'm a wraith, a small shadow,

Trapped in this hell.

How did I get here, what did I do?

Now locked in a nightmare,

Wandering weakly,

Feeling only despair.

The fire is burning, the sun beats me hard.

But I am just drifting

Between this dream state and death.

Don't fend off the blows that I know are coming.

I just take them and whimper

And hold back the tears.

I'm in a place beyond hope

So I don't feel the fears,

I just want to sleep

And run to different nightmares
